(prHWY.com) November 3, 2012 - New York, NY -- The US Drug Enforcement authorities have recently started banning different products that are being used for many to enjoy marijuana like sensation. Bath salts and Salvia are reported to be two such products that are causes of great concern for them. Bath salt is the commonly used name to represent a group of drugs with effects that can be compared to that of cocaine and amphetamine. They are called so because of their striking resemblance with Epsom salts and other bathing products. On the contrary, Salvia is an ornamental plant with several positive uses that can also be applied to induce hallucination.
Unfortunately, questions have also been raised about the legal status of Kratom, a highly beneficial natural remedy that has endless applications. There have been efforts from certain sectors on the society to declare
Kratom illegal. However, the fairness of comparing Kratom with bath salts or Salvia is certainly something that can be questioned. Several narcotic ingredients of highly damaging nature are found in bath salts. They create narcotic effects by increasing the concentration of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine in synapses. Liver failure, kidney failure, high blood pressure, heart attack, panic attacks, paranoia, nausea, and palpitation are some of the most common health hazards resulting from regular consumption of bath salts. Though much innocuous in comparison, but Salvia also has its own negative impacts on human health.
Many people are against declaring Kratom illegal because it can not be compared with either of these two. It is a highly useful herb that has amazing medicinal value. The people in the Southeastern parts of Asia have enjoyed the medicinal benefits of Kratom since time immemorial. Pain relieving and muscle relaxation are the most common application of Kratom. It can also help getting rid of mental distractions and stay focused. Most importantly, Kratom has helped many victims of opiate and alcohol abuse to fight their addiction. A series of scientific studies has now established the fact that it can also minimize withdrawal symptoms caused by opiate addiction. The extreme utility of Kratom as herbal medicine supplement can be attributed to the presence of several highly active alkaloids.
The application of anything in this world depends completely on the intent of people using it. User's discretion is essential to make sure that the substance is used in the best interest of the mankind. Unfortunately, a handful of users have shown a tendency of making improper use of this exceptionally beneficial herb. As a result, people belonging to a number of countries are now deprived of its medicinal values. This list includes countries like Thailand, Malaysia, Australia, etc. Declaring
Kratom legal would again allow them to enjoy these natural remedies. Kratom is legal in both Canada and the United States, but there is constant debate in the medical fraternity over the legality of Kratom.
Responsible use of Kratom is extremely important in this scenario. Proper usage as a curative measure would definitely put all debates concerning the use of Kratom to rest forever. The enforcing authorities are also required to analyze and evaluate its positive uses, before taking any steps concerning making Kratom illegal.
